Yes, on Friday we had our first snow that actually covered the ground. Kobe was sooo excited when he woke up and saw what was outside (he's been asking when we're getting snow)! We ended up going outside that morning, even though mommy had 2 extra little ones. Good thing we did, because that afternoon, the snow was gone! Kobe loved it, he was trying to shovel all the snow off the grass (the streets and sidewalks were bare), and also had fun riding his trike and getting the wheels stuck with snow! Brennan wasn't too interested, he grabbed his tractor and took off riding like any other day. Mommy finally convinced him to check out the snow, so he got busy taking handfuls from one side of the driveway, walking across, and throwing it the other side (this could take awhile)!! Brennan was NOT interested in wearing mittens! This could make winter challenging! :)
Mommy is NOT ready for winter! It went from 76 on monday to a high of 35 on friday! We usually try to get outside after supper, to move around, but sometimes in the winter we hang out in our unfinished basement instead! Just sharing a couple pics of some of the fun ideas the boys come up with! I'm sure the ideas will get crazier as the winter goes on! I love having little boys!
Kobe always talks big about taking a ride on "Grandpa with the tractors" John Deere tractors. Every time we get to their house, or near the tractor, he would decide, no, I'll do it next time. We even called daddy to ask if he could ride on the 4 wheeler, and once daddy said yes, then he decided it was too loud. :) Last weekend we went to my parents, so daddy could concentrate on the campaign. On Sunday Kobe took a ride with Grandma to see Grandpa combining (and bring him lunch). With no hesitation, Kobe climbed right into the combine, and as you can tell from the picture, it's definitely bigger than a 4-wheeler! Kobe and grandma rode around the corn field for awhile with grandpa, Kobe had a blast, he keeps talking about the corn that you could see through the window (it's how my dad knows the box is full, and needs to unload). My little boy's getting bigger and braver!
Oh, my goodness, I've fallen so far behind on updating the blog! Halloween was great - Papa Murphy's aren't the only ones that can make a pumpkin pizza! We had a great night, it was so beautiful out, perfect for the kids, especially with Brennan being so little. We first went out trick or treating through our neighborhood, the first couple houses allowed Brennan to grab his own candy (big mistake), from then on, he would try to grab his own candy at every house, and he wouldn't let anyone put anything in his bag (they had to hand the candy to him), or even touch his candy bag! He even carried his bag the whole way, even after it got full, mommy tried to help him out, but he refused, it was serious business!! I'm not sure why he was so excited about it, since he's never had candy, I'm sure it's because he reads Kobe's reaction to things and likes to copy him. Kobe was great, it is so fun now, that he really understands what's going on! After our neighborhood we drove over to The Kline's house (congressman John Kline) to trick or treat there, we knew Vicky would love to see the boys, and we stopped by Auntie Shewie's new home! It was a full, fun evening!! We also had over 50 trick or treaters, mommy is soooo excited (not quite the 100 she used to have, but better then the 5 or 10 we had the last few years)!
